DETTERA restaurant and wine bar brings sophisticated dining to downtown Ambler. Merging progressive American cuisine with wine bar chic in a beautifully restored, historic building offering upscale casual dining on an outside deck with a brick fireplace, a first floor dining level open to a curving black granite bar with over-sized round banquettes. The second floor dining room offers a relaxed atmosphere with pillow filled banquettes, a romantic fireplace, and a beautiful view of the Ambler theater. Wine selection offers over 50 wines by the glass and more than 200 by the bottle. The menu puts a heavy focus on seasonality, sustainability, and the sourcing of locally farmed produce. DETTERA also maintains their own herb and spice garden daily. A great find for that special dining occasion or even light fare and a glass of wine after the theater.

Beautiful second floor available with service bar, lounge, and fire place.

Amazingly crispy duck cooked to perfection, tender escargot, and amazing house-made pasta are just a few notable dishes we had last night. I'm getting hungry again writing this review! Go for the food, stay for the wine. They have great options for everyone, my wife loved the charred cauliflower entree.

At first glance, the wine list can be intimidating, but our knowledgeable server Mike was there to describe certain varieties and make recommendations.

This is not our first nor our last time visiting Deterra, the menu is always changing and makes every experience interesting and original.

I had not been to the restaurant since they changed it. I actually preferred the older menu. My husband and I love the mushroom pasta, and I think the short rib pasta. I ordered the tagliatelle pasta but it didn’t have anything in it, so it wasn’t as good as it could have been.

Excellent food but a little pricey for the portion size. Small restaurant but beautiful and romantic inside. Nice for special occasion and bar is excellent for Happy Hour. Extensive Wine list, Service was slow but waitress was pleasant. Beet Salad was amazing. Lemon Crème Brulee & Chocolate Flourless Torte were delicious. Menu needs to have more options.

We were for restaurant week and opted to try the wine pairing menu with our dinner. It was truly incredible! Each of the courses had such unique delicious flavor and the service was excellent! We will definitely be back!

The place has a comfortable decor and is quite welcoming although very loud. Hard to hear each other at times. The food was meh. The octopus appetizer was overtaken by the dressing, the risotto was too salty and went uneaten, the ravioli noodle was tough. To top it all off, for a wine bar, we found it unusual that a red wine was served in a white wine glass.Sorry to say that we will likely not return.
